Cricket enthusiasts wearing traditional dress and honking horns started rushing towards Punjab’s provincial capital from different parts of the country to catch a glimpse of international cricketers starting from noon.

A strict security plan has been devised to safeguard the players for all the three matches to be played on September 12, 13 and 15.

Around 6,000 police officials including 19 police SPs and 45 DSPs will perform duties. At all entry points, the officials will check the national identity cards and tickets of the people and will allow them to enter after proper clearance. Besides the police, troops of other law enforcement agencies will also be deployed.
